Athens-Clarke Co. Police investigating drive-by shooting

Athens-Clarke County police officers are investigating after a house was damaged in a drive-by shooting early Thursday morning.

Officers responded to a residence on Creek Stone Court around 1 a.m. Thursday in regards to the shots fired. The person at the home told police that he was in the bathroom when he heard a loud noise and felt something fly by his head.
